Jocassee Lake Tours

Join our naturalist guides for an exploration into the Jocassee Gorges, where four rivers tumble off the Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment, through a rugged temperate rainforest, and into beautiful Lake Jocassee. Our tours lead you through an ancient geological landscape that reveals the dynamic process of mountain building and harbors a diversity of rare plant and animal species. Let this fascinating place stimulate your curiosity, whether your interests lean towards the engineering of hydroelectric power or local Cherokee history. The Jocassee Gorges are one of the world’s great wild places!

U.S. Army approved!

The Army ROTC Battalion of Wofford College toured the lake today with Kerry. She pushed the limits with our group to explore beyond levels of comfort and see the finer things that nature had to offer. It was fun, informative, and safe! Our Cadets couldn’t stop talking about it on our 2-hour ride home. Our goal for today was a team-building event and this tour exceeded all expectations. My only regret was not having more than $25 cash for the guide. You can’t go wrong, whether your tour is family oriented or a group of 21-year olds looking to scale the sides of waterfalls for the afternoon! We will most definitely return - U.S. Army approved!

Great Time!

We had a great time on our pontoon boat tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and the natural wildlife. She really got us up close and personal with several waterfalls, which was incredible! Lake Jocassee is truly beautiful and this is a great way to get out there and see different parts of the lake. I highly recommend this tour.

Loved it!

We had a wonderful day on this beautiful lake. We got lots of information and saw several waterfalls. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. She gave us time to swim at several locations. I highly recommend the 4 hour tour!

Simple booking and pickup, awesome service

I booked a kayak for 3 days for camping at the boat-in campground, and the pickup and dropoff was very simple. The equipment was great quality, the campground was well maintained, and exploring the falls was really interesting as long as you're willing to paddle out.
